Well, 4 months have gone by since I got back into training and for the first time started focusing on my diet.

I can report that all continues to go well. It looks like my ability to loss weight while putting on muscle size may have passed. I am starting to see my body weight increasing while I continue to shed body fat. This is not a problem in my book.

As of today, I have dropped my body fat from 19.8% on December 2, 2006 to 13.2%. If you have a chance, check out my progress photos and see the transformation.

This is my lifestyle now. I look forward to each of my training days and I can report no injuries.

Keep training strong!

I finished my 3 week cycle of Animal Cuts and Animal Stack2 supplements yesterday. In 3 weeks time I was able to drop 1 percentage point of body fat while increasing the size of my arms, forearms, thighs and calves by a quarter of an inch each. I also shaved a quarter of an inch off of my waist.

These results are not to bad for a 3 week timeframe and someone in my age bracket

Keep training strong!

Since the beginning of December 2006, I have been successful at chipping away 5.5% of the excess body fat (BF) that I’ve been toting around. I’m still in double digit body fat % but at least I am now closer to 10% BF than 20% BF. My goal is to reach 10% and maintain it. Who knows but in the future I may decide to compete and push the BF% envelop even further down. Stay tuned…

Keep training strong!

I decided to tweak both my diet and supplements to change it up some and further improve my physique.  With my job, it is not possible to eat 5-6 small meals through out the day with various customer meetings and vehicle assembly plants visits.

So, here’s my approach:

Morning:
  Before leaving for work - 6AM
    1 Animal Cuts pak
    Whey Protein Shake - 240 cal, 6.5g fat, 15g carbs, 31g protein
  At work - 8AM
    1 Animal Pak
    1 banana (avg) - 92 cal, 0.5g fat, 23.4 carbs, 1g protein
    1 yogurt - 100 cal, 0 fat, 19g carbs, 5g protein

Lunch:
  Pre-lunch - 10AM
    1 Animal Cuts pak

  Lunch - 11:30AM
    I either have a light salad, wrap or Thai.
    My goal is to keep calories < 300, fats < 20g.
    While varying between carbs and protein, one high and one low (< 30g).

  Post Lunch - 3PM
    EAS Myoplex Ready to Drink - 310 cal, 7g fat, 20g carbs, 43g protein

Training
  Cellmass - 6PM
  1 Animal Stack 2 pak
  Training - 7PM

Dinner - 8:30PM
  Similar to my lunch plan.
  My goal is to keep calories < 300, fats < 20g.
  While varying between carbs and protein, one high and one low (< 30g).

Pre-Bedtime - 9:30PM
  Whey Protein Shake - 240 cal, 6.5g fat, 15g carbs, 31g protein

For the day, I take in approximately 1,600 calories with the following breakdown:  17% fats, 36% carbs and 47% protein.

I have been following this plan for one week. I am maintaining my weight but both my strength and endurance have improved during my training. I have noticed that it has been easier to get that last rep in. We will see if I am able to continue cutting body fat while putting on muscle size following this plan.

Keep training strong!
